Winter

It’s late Fall, and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he could not tell what the winter was going to bring.

The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

The weatherman replied, “The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood.
